So, with Raees back hard at work on more Wolfenstein Rising, its time to get crackin' on more tunes for it!
I wound up coming up with this one for the new (as of writing this) Castle level. In particular, I made this for the sequence towards the end, where you have lots of guards and dogs coming after you.
I had looked to RtCW's "SS Elite Guard Assault" for inspiration. I had gotten my timpani/kettle-drums, piano, and strings all set up in the MIDI. However, I couldn't quite get things to sound right with the general midi instruments/sounds.
From there, I wound up speeding things up and just pursued the high-energy and frantic atmosphere that I got from that bit of the level. Along with the tense and frantic mood, I threw in some tremolo strings to add a bit of hopefulness. Always love adding the sprinkle of triumph in tracks like this. Picturing the player blasting and blitzing their way through all the baddies. Which also is where the idea for the name of this track came from.
Also on a side note, a friend had described this track as "giving off some serious Metal Gear Solid vibes". Which I found to be hilarious and awesome, since I didn't realize it until he pointed it out!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this new addition to the Wolfenstein Rising OST! ~DAR

This one really makes me think of some kind of old-school RPG.
Since I did Jade Empire earlier in the marathon (and really enjoyed doing the whole retro/synthwave thing), Ive been really looking forward to covering another stewboy track!
I kept the song structure the same, but I did wind up adding another synth part and a new string-section bit all in the 2nd half (when everything finally hits, and gets all pretty-sounding).
This was a nice and relaxing one to put together. Also, as a heads-up, well be jumping to MAP22 up next. Was doing some thinking and had decided to save MAP21 for towards the end of the marathon.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR

Really enjoyed how big and spacey this one came out sounding. Shoutout and thanks goes out to silentzorah for suggesting this track!
Originally, I thought about trying to metal up this one, like I had done for The Broken Ones. However, doing so didnt quite feel right, and I was also feeling in the mood for getting all ambient and atmospheric.
Got to have fun layering my synths in this one. My wonderful Sine Spooky Deep synth patch steps in once more to handle the low end. I also threw in some big reverb/delay combos, and even filtered and distorted their aux tracks.
My old and original Biggus Kickus (now Kickus the Lesser?) fills in for bass drum duties.
After getting everything all laid out and layered up, I still really wanted to try and include the guitar somehow. I decided on a clean (maybe slightly overdriven) tone for my Ibanez. I then proceeded to go with the flow and played something very quietly alongside the cover. Rather subtle overall, but I really liked what it added to this track!
Once all that was done, I messed with volume and panning automation. I had the low synth bus fade out and back in at times, and various other elements moving from left to right.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy my rendition of this ambient tune! ~DAR

One of the things I really love from this track is how the organ bit just slowly fades in and opens up.
Also, I think Im starting to get the whole retrowave sort of sound nailed down! I had fun dialing in a sound to layer with the drawbar-organ part.
The Juno-styled chorus and my whammy bar also return once more for this track as well! I did decide to swap out my usual amp sim for another. I really wanted something warmer, and mellower, compared to my usual brighter tone.
I wound up changing up the cello melody that plays midway through the song. Mainly since thats the part that got replaced with the lead guitar bit. Had to mess with it for noodlin and whammy-bar goofin shenanigans.
Something of note that I managed to properly achieve was the use of gated reverb! Now, I know, this is a REALLY old and easy trick that just about every audio guy knows how to set up... but it took me forever to get it right, mainly because for whatever reason, the gate that I was using wasnt side-chaining properly. Thus, I never bothered messing with it any further. That is, until I finally decided to use a different gate plugin like I did here!
Once I got the aux/send-channel set up running parallel with the snare, I excitedly did the same for the kick and the toms as well. That gated reverb just really adds a special something to the drums on tracks like this especially!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR

This time around weve got a nice and spooky-sounding track.
Things were pretty straightforward here on this one, I just layered up my synths to get the textures that I wanted.
I will say though, its never not going to be hilarious how my DAR Beerstorming audio-clip works so well for creepy background ambiance. Basically, back during the D64D2 marathon, I decided to record a two-minute clip of me cracking open a cold one and proceeding to ramble, laugh, and belch into the microphone. Then, through the magic that is sound-design, I reversed, slowed, and distorted it (among other things) as heard here.
Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy the spookiness of this cover! ~DAR

Huge thanks goes out to Niko The Arms Dealer for taking the time to create a seamless 30-minute loop of this track!
I wound up cutting together already existing footage in order to fill up the time. I also threw in a couple of easter eggs into the video just for laughs.
I was planning on throwing in more silly things like making a sandwich and some coffee midway through the video (among other things). I also planned on having a full little parody battle too, but cut it short since it wouldve taken too long to make just for a gag.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy! ~DAR

Been a while since we had a D64 track (well, technically Watch Your Rock was a rockin take on Blood Red Shadows)!
More spooky noises, but this time weve got some strings and synth strings to give a bit more musicality to things.
For a bit, I thought about whether I wanted to use all normal strings or not. After listening to the original, I decided to keep the low-strings normal. However, for the higher-strings, I decided to go more electronic/synth strings.
I had fun messing around with filters and reverbs again. For the high-strings in particular, I wound up also routing them to an aux channel that I then heavily saturated and reverberated. I also did a lot of volume automation on my layers again. Swelling all those strings for dramatic effect!
Speaking of messing around with a bunch of effects... I realized at one point that I needed to try adding something in the background. Some kind of ambience to fill the space underneath the track.
Had myself a really dumb idea, but I had a good feeling that it would probably work. So, I got my microphone set up, got me a beer, then I hit the record button. Got me 2 minutes of myself drinking, burping, and remarking to myself how dumb this idea was. Saved and then loaded the audio into the project. Reversed it, and pitched it down an octave, threw some effects and reverb on there... and it actually worked out!
Some highlights being at 1:11, what sounds like a reverbed monster roar/rumble was actually the best burp of the recording. 2:21 was me commenting on the first couple of weak burps. Then around 2:40 is the sound of me cracking open the beer.
Thats the beauty of sound design and ambience shenanigans, man. You can take the dumbest, and weirdest things, and... itll just work out in the end. No one would ever know either. Only those of us privy to this silly trivia here in the description will be able to have a chuckle at the fact that weve got spooky beer burps for ambience.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy our last of the spooky/ambient songs in the soundtrack. Up next, were kicking things into high gear! Cant wait to start working on MAP31s Dream, Dream Eternal. ~DAR

Finally got around to working on this great MAP01 track from Back To Saturn X!
I got stuck for a while on this one actually. I spent a lot of time trying to decide whether to use the acoustic throughout the whole thing (like in the original).
I finally decided to use my Ibanez for the majority of it, saving the acoustic for that nice little bit towards the end.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy! ~DAR
